2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class exhibits the ultimate in style and comfort, and this year’s series is no exception to the high standards set by Mercedes. There is just one body type available for the 2006 series which is the sedan. Wagons and coupes have been discontinued this year for this series.

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class gets an engine upgrade, with a new set of V-6 twin-cam engines powering the car. Drivers will find a 2.5 liter 201 hp under the hood of a C320, while the C280 has a 3.0 liter 228 hp engine, and the C350 comes with a more powerful 3.5 liter engine that produces 268 horsepower.

The new engines have made a difference, and the C55 AMG can accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in just 4.9 seconds. The 2006 C-Class series also has active front head restraints that will help reduce the possibility of whiplash injuries in case of an accident.
